Natural selection, that's how Forex works, 95% of novice traders are here to provide liquidity to the market and eventually get swallowed by the beast.
Funny thing is the stream is endless... It's like lemmings.

The recent upmove scared the shit out of me, but it looks like the 15 min retracement , to form 60 min B.

We are still in correction of 60 min ABC, A@ 1.3030 , B - 1.3200 C = 1.3000 ( This is also .38% of the recent daily up move from 1.26xx to 1.32xx)

I have placed the order to go short at 1.3200, SL @ 1.3230 , TP @ 1.3000

IMO. The direction has been long since 1.2650. One of the bullish signs was all the negative news and the euro didn't tank.
Yeah... Agree that EUR is bullish since 2650.... But now i believe its time to come down... However as of now i am staying sidelines.....

Interesting !!! Anyway, i've planned to stay aside until any direction is clear... Will go long only if get a close above 3200... Until then my bias is bearish !!!
I am looking also for some bearish movements now on this resistences it can be maybe happen for the US season..why not we are in the middle of each position technicaly tells me to not get any trade now, but I have little hunger to hunt something..) I give my vote to a bearish US start ( but dont listen me, its my vote))

I don't get rid off the feeling that market, especially eurusd is manipulated.
Nothing left from buying power... if ISM is bad, we ride the other direction in 2 hours.

Imagine the people who keep such a move alive...what a crazy billion dollar game they play but: They have the power to move the market - and the power to NOT move the market,

Anyone who really earns money week by week (not to talk for daily basis) here ? I doubt it... except you have some other tools then fundis or technical stuff...

One thing that most retail traders don't understand or think about is this concept. When a small trader places his trade with his broker, his broker has two options. The broker takes the trade against you or offsets the trades with equal number of other retail trades (his ideal situation) OR if the trades come in all short or long and not being equal then broker has no choice but go into the market and purchase a hedge in the opposite direction as the retail traders. Thus the retail traders trades do not really go into the market however the brokers hedge does go into the market. So that is why many times the market moves in the opposite direction of the retail traders and what causes the retail trader the most frustration and why it is so hard to beat this market. It is not that you were not right in your thinking but it was all about the timing. You gotta get on board at or as near the train station as possible. If you get on board on down the tracks at a later station then most of the time it is too late as it is about to stall or take a U-Turn and head back the direction that REAL MONEY is coming into the maket. (The hedge trade) Try to obsorb this concept and you will understand that the market "is not just out to get you" But all the retail trades being placed in one direction and not coming in equal on both sides of long and short forces the retail brokers to place a trade in the real market and most of the time it is a hedge in the opposite direction and not a trade into the market in the direction of the retail trade. I don't understand why most would always just hedge and not just place trades on the behalf of the member but I am sure it has something to do with most of the time retail traders are wrong or the brokers can chose when to place and time their trades at a different time than the retail trader to maximize their (brokers) profits. Hope this is clear enough for understanding a little bit.

3250(38.2 FIB) is a good resistance. If broken, expect to fly north uptil 3430... But even now i am tempted to short now.... I believe we would see 3020 by the end of the day. If that is the case we might reach even 2850 by this week....

Anyway, i ain't trading today...

maybe 44 hours ? It could push straight through already now within 12 hours with this first wave / bullish cycle - I highly doubt such move though. I still believe that it will go to meet supply zone @ 1.313 first.

That's how it is...
Also price goes against you as "big boys" like banks or hedge funds never trade spots. They place REAL MONEY orders much above or below the market spot price, so they make the market go to their required price, trigger, execute the order and then price goes exactly where they wanted... but those are huuuge money.
